jun aoki commented on BUILDS-25:
--------------------------------
+1 I'd be excited to see this happen
Currently, it has been painful to find where JDK is, and ambari requires
certain version of nodejs and its libraries etc to configure Ambari build on
builds.a.o.
In my use case, if a docker binary is provided and docker server run on slaves,
things will be much easier.
e.g.
I have a Dockerfile for ambari project. This has been useful for me to build
ambari with different given patches.
https://github.com/jaoki/ambari-build-docker
{code}
sudo docker build -t ambari/build
https://github.com/jaoki/ambari-build-docker/blob/master/Dockerfile
{code}
Then all required settings and libraries are all set with the one docker
command!
It takes some time for the very first time but from the second time it is
within milliseconds and get the cleanest environment for Ambari builds.
[~gkesavan], Please let me know if you want me to write down more details.
> please consider providing Docker on Jenkins slaves

> Project: Infra Build Platform
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Jenkins
> Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
>
> Docker (https://www.docker.com/) provides a very powerful set of tools around
> extremely lightweight container environments. This is extremely useful in
> situations where builds need to be performed in presence of certain
> system-level build dependencies and on different flavors of Linux.
> With Docker, one can simply execute the following command as an entry point
> into a build script:
> {noformat}
> docker run -v `pwd`:/ws $DOCKER_IMAGE bash -c 'cd /ws ; make foo'
> {noformat}
> and not require pollution of Jenkins slaves with system dependencies and
> installation of new slaves. E.g. DOCKER_IMAGE=fedora would give you the
> latest fedora build environment.
> It would be extremely useful to provide Docker service on ASF build slaves.
> Please let me know how can I help.
